Interesting New ORA Clowns

[messiah023]

I don't know if someone posted these yet.....just saw the article today.
I'm a big fan of "designer" clownfish and the whole ORA system.

Thought it might be an interesting read if you haven't seen it yet....

saw they were going to release those long ago.... probably the ugliest clowns ever, IMO.

 

[messiah023]

Very Ugly....but that's what makes them great IMO.

The look about as ugly as their price tag.

I dont think I'd have one those in my tank,if they was giving em away for free.
Thats one butt ugly fish.

Damn those are ugly. They look like goldfish. If I wanted goldfish, I'd have a goldfish bowl -- much easier and cheaper than SW! But you know that Dustin would be first in line to buy them anyways.

i would rather pay 20 for a regular clown than those ones

 

[swninja]

i've already got an ugly fish, but why would i pay more than my tank, stand, and lights for one ugly fish?

Pretty soon we will have true albino clowns just like freshwater cories. Picassos are one thing these cross the line IMO

If I really wanted a clown that looked like that, I'd just take mine outa the tank and roll him in flour. :P

i love how within three comments on reefbuilders about them it turned into an argument about pure breed dogs

I just got an email from my LFS that within 2 weeks they are getting 2 of these little guys. They said that because there is such high demand that there will only be 2 being sent to them and that they are forming a waiting list for them now. They are going for 350-450 each.

They took a perfectly beautiful fish and made it disgusting and they are charging 450 for them? I've got 2 black ocellaris that are actually pleasant to look at. If anyone is interested I'm selling them for 975 each. Oh BTW that includes shipping...

I think I might rather pay $20 not to have one of those ugly things. It would be funny if they couldn't find anyone who wanted them!

I just, this weekend, got an email from the local FS (SWSW) here in Tucson and the owner said they were $350-$450 each and could only get 2 of them. Very limited! He's taking orders! I guess for a fish that ugly it should be limited. :bounce:

 

[dcantucson]

Ha Ha -posting at the same time.

with them being limited, rare, new, designer, and ORA that will not be a problem no matter the price. just wait for the divers den to post some up soon and see how fast they go

Amazing! Even if they were beautiful, I would :pooh: if I got one and it died. Not even worth the risk. The most I've ever paid was $225 for a fish.
